Can't stay away from politics can you? Not allowed here I am told, and I follow the rules of the board.
(the numbers are Hillary Clinton's vote count for those wondering)

Uncle Charlie (Charles A. Lockwood) Quoted a specific number of US Subs Lost he attributed to the asshole from West Virginia. Some dismissed his arithmetic but if anyone was qualified to determine the effect of the security breach. he the man with the data (sinking rates, locations, reports of losses).
He wanted them to hang he culprit. Others claimed it would further emphasize and confirm the facts to the enemy. |

Admiral Nimitz credited the asshole with up to 10 boats lost. If you want to know where his grave is (for pissing purposes, let me know).

Good Comments from all... my Beef is folks that were around in the cold war era seem awful willing to discuss stuff about currant boats and Ops on Social media. Some of itis BS But some of it isn't. "Need to know" is not the same as "want to know"...

Just as an exercise cause the Packer/Falcon game sucks and I'm waiting for the Steelers game I ran some numbers
Only taking sinkings possibly due to depth charging. Before publication 6 possible sinkings in 2.5 years (all aprox) gives 2.4 sinkings per year. After publication 12 possible sinkings in 3.5 years yields 3.4 sinkings per year. Now to normalize the statistic one must divide the sinkings per year by the number of submarine patrols (average) per year (look in the back of Blair's "Silent Victory"). The number of submarine patrol/year in the first 2.5 years would need to be 1.4 times the number of submarine patrols/year in the second 3.5 years to make the sink rate even. I know for sure that this is not the case. Thus there was no 'surge'. Admiral Lockwood was rightly incensed but was a bit off in the numbers. I cannot fault him at all for the statement. It may well have served to prevent further breaches of security. As I said before, post-war examination finds no evidence that there was a resetting of the depth charge detonation points by the Japanese navy throughout the war. I cannot quote you a source for this, but if you dig, you can find it. Good question!!! It is often useful to revisit what we think is right and to discover by doing so what is really right. Gooooooo Steeeeeelers! |

All of my studies indicate the same thing "Oldsubs" said. It was never proved. Not saying it was right of the stupid congressman to say that but whatever..
